The colour of my veins has become dark blue. Is this a problem? Urmilla replied. These are called varicose veins and they are pretty normal. Priya replied. Hi,
I have read that during the first three months ladies have lot of problems, but I really do not have any morning sickness, I do get tired soon.. but I really do not feel anything changed as such.
I went trhough a Pregency test and it came positive. Doctor has given me an appoinment only after 8 weeks of completion. I really get worried about certain things.
I am 27 year old, have regular 25-28 days of period cycle.
I only have 2 problems as of now, frequent urination and disturbed sleep in the night.

Can you please let me know, if my pregnecy is in trouble or it is normal ??  Top      Reply niki replied.

U r really lucky that u can chat with ur mom on yahoo msgr. My parents dont have a PC at home & so i can only contact them thru my sis who does email fm office. So when does ur mom plan to come? My mom didnt even have a passport so now she has given it. lets see what happens!! But u miss ur mom the most in these times isnt it? Priya replied. Hey Nikki,
U are correct, I also miss my mother very much these days .. Specially when I remember the food she used to prepare. I had started one more topic but then we will continue here. May be.

My mother might come when I am in my 8th month...around august. LEt us see.
My bro got computer just 2 weeks back just for me !! Now we can chat.. Dont know how long we can do it succesfully !
vidhya replied. how are you two doing??? Niki, the leg-ache and back ache are common pregnancy problems. i used to get them every now and then and they would disappear, just change your sleeping position and also use another pillow to support your leg, this might help. The darker veins are due to harmonal changes, youre going to experience more of these as you go further along in your pregnancy. Is your mom coming here during your delivery time??? Priya, are you getting good sleep these days??? btw as niki said youre really lucky youre able to chat with your mom. my parents dont have pc at home, whenever they visit my brother/sister weve some good on-line chats. Im so excited my parents would be coming here end of april, i cant wait. Im literaly counting the days. I just sent all the visa documents and they should be going to the consulate by first week of april, hope everything goes well. Well you all have a nice weekend and some good rest.
Priya replied. Vidya, good to hear from U. Yeah I am alright regarding the night sleep! But I do get lot of sleep in the day time perticularly after I have my lunch. I think Yahoo is going to charge for the voice chat now. So I think my good days will go soon !
Anyways, hey anyone has weight gaining problem? My other reports are very fine.. I was getting increase in my weight slowly but today I saw that I have lost 400GMs. I had put on 1Kg and now lost 400 gms. I am now very scared.. Any advise???  Top      Reply niki replied. Hey is there somethin wrong with this site?? some of my messages dont show up
So i saw American desi & enjoyed it. The most interesting was it showed exit to Plainfeild Ave. i.e. way to my house. & rutgers that is just opposite to my house.  Top      Reply niki replied. I have been quite worried for the urine infection i have got. i am on antibiotics & i am worried if it will have the side effects on the little one. Just praying. So vidhya, my leg cramps have become less with change in my routine. I take some rest every 2/3 hours & i sleep on sides but without bending my legs. this has been really difficult but now i have adjusted to this style. Also i wash my legs with cold water before sleep & walk on cold bathroom tile which has helped. The most important thing is i ve started eating 2/3 calcium tablets TUMS a day, which is helping.So hope U All R doing good.
niki replied. Hey priya, just eat 2/3 bananas perday they will help Ur baby gain calcium & weight & give it good height. Ur weight will also increase. Take care about ur food habits & eat something all day U r awake. My dr suggested me icecream when i had this prob in starting.though u dont feel hungry like in 1st tremister, nor does ur baby cry to tell u he is hungry U shud eat something all day u r awake may be ur sleepiness is also due to weakness of weight loss.....Take Care niki replied.

This could be due to stress. As niki said just keep eating something whenever you find time. The best thing to do is make yourself a fruit bowl or some snack and keep munching on something in between you meals. This will help the baby in its growth and youll also gain weight constantly. Typically from your 16th week onwards you should gain a pound a week. Feeling sleepy during the day is very common during pregnancy, some of the books suggests to take a nap in the afternoon. Just try to stay awake by taking a walk or drinking a glass of water. What i do is as soon as i go home, i make myself something to eat and take a nap for an hour. this gives me enough strength to make dinner and do other things around the house. vidhya replied. Niki, dont worry about the infection. I read somewhere that its really common to get urinary infection during pregnancy, The book suggests to drink plenty of water. Im sure youre not harming the baby with your antibiotics. Im glad youve found a relief for your leg cramps. Once I crossed 16 weeks, All the backaches and leg cramps sorta slowly disappeared. I do feel pain in my leg joints if i stand for a long time. but otherwise i feel like ive gained some energy. This could also be because im eagerly counting the days of my parents arrival, theyll be here April 20th keeping my fingers crossed. Priya replied. Thanks girls. I think both of you are correct. It might be because of stress. And Now i have fruits in front of me and I always keep eating that.
Nikki, banana is a good idea. I used to eat only one but will starting having two per day.
Vidhya I will try as U do. Go home have something and sleep for sometime. This might help me.
Surely I am better than last week. Now I am in 15th week.
I have a u/s in first week of April. Yeah surely U must be axious to meet ur parents... it is a great pleasure.
Nikki, I think infection is common and when the doctor is taking care U need not worry.
But just let me know how did u know that U had a infection? I just wanted to know the symptoms so that I can also ask doc if I have similar probs.
HEy and I have not started showing up yet. One of my freinds started showing up in her 4th month and also she could feel the movements of the baby. I dont have any feeling of the movement. I know it is different in different ladies. But still let us exchange more thoughts on this.
niki replied. Hi There! Actually i used to mention earlier that i got severe cramps & it was while urinating or going for stool. so initially it was only few seconds but it was very severe. So Dr did U/s & found everything about gyn & baby was perfect. Later this pain increased & i did urine test but it was all clear. Then i saw the specialist & he mentioned that there is urine infection. now the pain is getting lesser. But one of my friend got itching & burning sensation. before knowing it. Actually it is there for a long time before U can even get the symptoms.....the dr says main reason is sex. Also ur toilet habits & U may catch it at any unhygenic toilets too. So i feel really scared to go out for long when i need to use public toilet...but even if i go out for a while i need to use it so that isnt helping much. Anyways, i was reading somewhere that if antibiotics r taken in 1st 3 months, it is more dangerous but now the risk is quite low. Just praying. Ya Priya, eat more bananas & also cakes if u like. I like the small cupcakes/ i take 1 or 2 in a day but it is good. Here we get them of Wheat too in shoprite. Now we need more protiens. I donno if u eat non-veg, but vege people have to just eat a lot of animal fats like cheese/butter/yogurt to make strong bones for baby. Dont worry for calories at this time. Actually u know, i am showing since 6th week but my friend who is preg along with me doesnt show evn today at 16 weeks. But i cant feel anythin while my friend says she can feel everything since conception. Height of feeling isnt it???!!
So i asked dr & she said U can feel only after 18th week no matter what. Before that it is just gas. Have fun, Vidhya said i might be havin baby girl if i m showin so much so U must be having a boy......All the best for U/S. I am sure U will cry with joy. It happened to me as i saw the cute one turning all around & moving so much. Also may be i am very emotional person.  Top      Reply priya replied. Hey Nikki
Thanks for infection information. I do not have such symptoms yet but it is always better to know.
As far as feelings are concerend.. now a days I find my self very fresh and energitic. I am same as when I was not pregnant. My tummy looks big to me.. but not to others. Sometimes I get scared if I have the baby inside. U are correct U/s will make a big difference.
May be because I had bleeding in initial stages I am worried.. If I say this to my husband she gets wild with me.. He is always telling me that I m just troubleing my self with all this!!

I am sure doctors are with us and they will not tell anything wrong, we did hear the heart beat in the last appointmetn.. still why am i scared ?  Top      Reply Priya replied. Nikki, what u told .. regarding not showing up means boy..lots of people told me..
Also, my color is not as bright as before.. also chinese calender says I am going to have a boy.
No one yet told me that I am gonna have a girl child. I and my husband wanted to have girl.. So I am sure god will always do it opposite ! But still it is a surprise and Gods gift. I donot want to loose any hopes of having a girl till he /She comes :-
niki replied. Hey Priya, U r confusing my prediction for U. U say ur color is not as bright as before. That means U have a girl she will steal away all ur beauty. & later many more things. The best thing is try the quiz on childbirthdotorg It is interesting. i got 60% girl & 40 % boy. vidhya replied. hey niki, did you have your mid-term u/s??? how did it feel??? btw im so glad youve 60% of having a girl, what does the chinese calendar predicts??? Hey Priya once you go for the u/s itll make a world of difference in how you feel about the little peanut growing inside you. good luck. also regarding feeling the movements i didnt feel anything until 21 weeks, and since then i constantly feel the baby move around. My belly is grown really big, and i would say people started me when im due from 20 weeks onwards. I was also told in the first pregnancy it takes a while to show, and the last 3 months youll grow really big. niki, take care of yourself and dont worry about the infection. so are you 2 having anyone come by from india during delivery time???
